While oceans are vast, they represent a fragile resource that must be protected if we want to protect our livelihoods and our planet. Marine pollution has been a topic of concern for a long time, and it has recently attracted the attention of scientists, environmentalists, economists, politicians and journalists in mainstream media. Besides providing food, transportation routes and other resources, the oceans serve as a heat absorbing sink which offsets the extreme heating effects of climate change, but only to a limited degree. Pollution in marine environments such as the oceans, poses a threat to coastal communities by affecting the fauna and flora in the environment and the health of the nearby population. This has a disruptive effect on the health and economy of these communities. Marine Pollution: Current Status, Impacts and Remedies emphasizes the limitations of marine resources that relevant environments provide. Readers will find chapters on methods to assess pollution as well as important information for identifying, measuring, and remediating various pollutants. The book also covers some known pollutants (heavy metals, organic pollutants, microplastics) and ways to manage these substances. Other issues covered in the book include problems caused by invasive species, and the ecological problems caused by pollutants which affect local fauna and flora.This book will prove to be a useful resource for students, researchers, and policymakers, who are working in environmental science, marine conservation and allied fields

Interest Rate Modeling for Risk Management presents an economic model which can be used to compare interest rate and perform market risk assessment analyses. The key interest rate model applied in this book is specified under real-world measures, and the result is used as to generate scenarios for interest rates. The book introduces a theoretical framework that allows estimating the market price of interest rate risk. For this, the book starts with a brief explanation of stochastic analysis, and introduces interest rate models such as Heath-Jarrow-Morton, Hull-White and LIBOR models. The real-world model is then introduced in subsequent chapters. Additionally, the book also explains some properties of the real-world model, along with the negative price tendency of the market price for risk and a positive market price of risk (with practical examples). Readers will also find a handy appendix with proofs to complement the numerical methods explained in the book.This book is intended as a primer for practitioners in financial institutions involved in interest rate risk management. It also presents a new perspective for researchers and graduates in econometrics and finance on the study of interest rate models. The second edition features an expanded commentary on real world models as well as additional numerical examples for the benefit of readers.

When you live your life in fear and scarcity from one day to another, and when your awareness spans two channels on your TV, you may perceive and understand society from one political party to the next and from one conspiracy to another. While your own servitude, ignorance, compliance, and subjection span the world, since it is the case with everyone else, forming in this manner the extraordinary conspiracy shaping and reshaping everything continuously, the Human Conspiracy. Because those who killed presidents and royalty throughout history, those who control stock markets, wars, oil fields, and alphabet agencies, and those who weaken and decimate humanity whenever they find it necessary are the same, acting on the same comprehensive conspiracy alongside you, while forming the Human Conspiracy. Because it never matters who rules the world and through what schemes, since they cannot do so without your help and compliance. While you agree and conspire making everything happen, you even take control sometimes along with everybody else, and when conspirators cannot abuse you anymore, you take them down to bring in their place others who can.This is the Human Conspiracy and it always relates to you, since it is meant for action, compliance, and perfect integration. It is the lack of reaction to everything dreadful that those in control do to you and to the world, as it is based on your continuous acceptance along with your continuous ridicule and rejection of those who do not abide. Because it is your passivity making all social schemes and conspiracies possible, and so you keep them coming, indefinitely. It is not their proclaimed effort, ingenuity, strength, and influence to matter, but it is your conspiracy to accept everything coming your way, as you endure and take it diligently, expecting more.And now you see the world that you create, you still cherish and smile while you suffer, you still condemn those who complain, as you know that is wrong but you want to be safe, and so you endure and cherish in ignorance. Because you conspire just to keep yourself covered, you gather the crumbs and you never complain, and this is the greatest conspiracy of all times, the Human Conspiracy.Throughout this book, we identify, model, and understand how the Human Conspiracy takes place on all social levels, building this background comprehensive conspiracy capable to follow authorities alongside everything that they implement, control, and exploit in the world, while we focus on all premises and consequences, in all details, and from all perspectives.

Poisons, due to their lethal nature, invoke a sense of fear in humans. Yet, they have also impacted other aspects of human life. Poisons have been used by nomadic hunters to kill their prey, by scientists to explore complex biochemical mechanisms of the body, by physicians to lower cholesterol and to kill cancer cells, by farmers and the general public to destroy pests, by the evil minded for homicide, and by tyrants as weapons of war. The Art and Science of Poisons presents two facets of poisons: the science behind them and their place in history and art. The science of poisons describes their biochemistry and how they kill. The science story voyages into the sub-microscopic world of atoms, molecules, and cells. Only there can we see the true miracles and mysteries of life and death. Chapters in the book explore poisons from snakes, spiders, scorpions, sea creatures, as well as poisons made by humans in the laboratory, and those which are derived from beautiful plants.The art of poisons, on the other hand, encompasses everything else about these agents that conjures up the image of the skull and crossbones. This side of the story explores the legends and tales of intrigue and surreptitious deaths of well-known personalities such as Socrates, Cleopatra, Hitler, and many more.General readers with a curiosity about science and an interest in history and human nature will enjoy both facets presented in this brief, yet varied exploration into the world of poisons.
